To the Gatlin Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Rod - It was such a shock to hear of your leaving us. But, I know you are in a better place. The Lord loves you and we all pray to see you again. My heart hurts knowing I won't be able to hug you again. We love you and will always remember the great times we had in our younger days together. You are leaving a great legacy behind. You made a difference. We are proud of you. Love Virlon, Tim and Penny

You were an awesome man Uncle Rod (that's all I ever knew to call you). It was an honor to be loved as one of your own. You and Gina treated me like family from day one. I've always admired the way you cared for your family and others and could never thank you enough for your service and sacrifice for us all. Rest high and enjoy your sweet bride forever more. Truly a blessing!

Although life goes on for many, the day your life's story ended, our worlds were shattered. You were the kindest, most loving soul I have known and I will miss you more than words will do justice. I know your chains are shattered, you've been set free and for that I smile through my tears. There just isn't any way around my selfishness...I wish you could come back!! I had so much more to tell you...many more hugs to collect!!!
